That tank still looks better than some LFS tanks I've seen.

I'm sure this one isn't the worst one out there, but I wouldn't really know where to start, unles Drew would come over to enjoy the challenge

If you were looking at getting that tank, I'd suggest cooking/power washing the rock, and some big time cleaning of everything else. For $400, you could almost buy the equipment brand new, rather than used. All the livestock would be almost worthless after a thorough cleaning as well. If you are new at this, I'd stear well clear of it.

here ya go, $248 and brand new...a few pounds of live rock is easy to come by cheaply from some reefer who's getting outta the hobby. buying LR from someones tank is usually a good deal cause you get a reduced price and there's much more life on it. check the link : http://oceanaquatics.com/store/produ...4G-w-2x32w-PC/

in my opinion, ya you could make that tank work but if it's your first one, you're really at a disadvantage just because you've already got quite a learning curve with a fresh set up...let alone paying to inherit a bunch of someone else's problems.

The All in One systems are nice but caution with the type as the biocubes and such, the tank design itself will limit what you can keep due size (no tang) and lighting/flow.
